Coffee Prince Shop No 1

'Coffee Prince Shop No 1'

I was browsing thru d-TV programs guide in newspaper last week n noticed that this series currently being aired on 8tv. Well, I've finished watching it 3 months ago.

I bought a dvd complete set of Korean series at batu feringhi d-other day. It has 17 episode and been compressed into 2 dvds. It cost me only RM 8.00. Cheap rite????......hehehehe

Playing a tomboy character

Basically, d-storyline is somewhat similar to other stories that has a leading actress acting as a tomboy or dressing like a man. But this story has a mixture of different flava injected to set them apart from other similar story. Eun-Chan (heroin) is d-eldest in her family and has 1 sister. Her mother is a full time stay-at-home mom but she take somekinda chestnut to peel off d-skin as a part-time job n doing it at home. Since Eun-Chan’s father died due to (forget lor) wuteva reason, she has taken all d-responsibilities n d-burden that she has to bear are indescribable. But, she never complaint and whining. I tell u she’s a tough girl, she’d anything just for d-sake of her family.

Until one day, when her mom lost a 5K ring and what worse, that ring was borrowed from her neighbor . In her life, she never encountered with these kinda problems. Even with her mother’s housework wage plus with her salary, d-amount is still not enuff to buy another ring to replace with d-lost one.

Before d-ring-lost-incidents, she’d met with Choi Han Kyul (hero) when she delivered milk at his home. Whereas Choi Han Kyul officially met Eun-Chan outside his house…there was a robbery scene at that moment. Then..bla..bla..bla…..hehehehe ( ask me then )

There’r 4 main leads and supported by interesting side-characters.

Anyway, d-timing is just perfect when d-hero comes into d-pic. I’m not gonna tell d-whole story. Oklah, just an excerpt of d-story. Choi Han Kyul’s grandma wants him to get married since he’s turning 30. But, he’s not ready. Meanwhile, He can see Eun-Chan needs money but doesn’t trust her enough to just lend it to her, so he’d rather hire her to be his gay couple n pay her after completing his mission. In fact, he’s mistakenly thought she’s a HE…..Not that Eun-Chan hiding her identity but it seems like Choi Han Kyul convincingly think that she’s kinda cute man…hehehehe. So she did not correct this misunderstanding either.


All he wants her to do is show up at his matchmaking blind dates, and pretend to be his so-called gay partner. Then, she’ll be paid once d-mission accomplished. While they put the plan into action, and pretend doing d-smooching things, so they can be “accidentally” caught by the woman which is supposed to be his blind date… and they repeat that “kissing-scene” date after date after date. In fact, Choi Han Kyul did kiss Eun-Chan …huhuu.

One day, Han Kyul was forced by his grandmother to manage a cafe for 3 months and turn it around or she will stop all the financial support. Fortunately, Eun-Chan was there n she was d-one to convince him to take d-challenge n prove it that he can do it. Besides, she also can earn some money from d-coffee shop.

As d-coffee shop starting to make profit n all d-funny incidents takes place, Choi Han Kyul started to develop feelings for the person he believes is a boy. To him, Eun-Chan is a human form of energy drink that can give him strengths and make him laugh in anykinda situations. Besides, he finds that Eun-Chan’s boy-ish attitudes is charming. It’s kinda funny though cos he was thinking he’s going to be gay.

Then, he tried to avoid Eun-Chan and vice versa. It seems like he can’t resist d-temptation n can’t get Eun-Chan out of his mind. Until one day, Choi Han Kyul drove back to d-coffee shop late at nite n let whateva in his closet out n confess to Eun-Chan about his feelings towards her.

Here’s d-screen shot from that scene:

"I like you. I don't care whether you're a guy or an alien. I'm fed up trying to hide my feelings. Let's give this a try!'' (exclaims Choi Han Kyul as he finally professes his love.)

Then, Choi Han Kyul passionately kissed Eun-Chan …..it’s so romantic, I tell u

After d-confession, they’r like inseparable-gay-couple-wannabe.

The ending?

hmmm…..ask me lorrr, huhuhu. Actually things are more complicated. There’ll be love triangle, on and off relationships between Eun-Chan n Choi Han Kyul, and also, they’ll be declaring their relationship as Brothers (b4 Eun-Chan’s identity been revealed), n….way too much if I want to put all of ‘em here. Especially d-part where Eun-Chan’s identity been exposed n how disappointed Choi Han Kyul becos he felt he’s been cheated for quite long and at d-same time he’s so thankful cos he falls in love with WOMAN.

Dressing like a woman. Ain't she looks gorgeous?

Well personally, I dun really like d-way it ends. It’s not like anti-climax or wut, I think, somehow towards d-ending of d-story, d-excitement is not as fiery as d-one n half of d-story. Anyhow, it’s a good drama to watch n it’s worth every RM I’ve spent on it. I bet, those who’ve seen this hilarious drama would definitely agree with me…or maybe 99.9% agree…hehehehe
